I have about 6 months to build links and get in better position than my competitor. please advice me how can i start this project.
i am building links with competitors root domain right now and indexed by them about 6 of 18 and keep building it.. -
Kevin it is all about quality vs. quantity but don't let anyone tell you the quantity doesn't matter... We are quickly moving up the rankings by doing a combination of Social Media Bookmarking, Video SEO, Article Writing, Blogs, RSS submissions etc. I suggest you try a campaign involving those for starters and then maybe issue a PR via PRWEB.
One challenge we face is one of the top ranking sites we are trying to beat is building 3K + links a month... Hard to compete with that so we are just doing as much as we can and focusing on quality first.
6 months is good. Build out as much content and get the leg work started ASAP.
Best of luck!

Kevin, while analyzing your competitors and also while building your own strategy, the most important thing that you have to consider is quality.
Usually good amount of links from fewer domains is not really helpful and it is always advisable to earn links from different domains….
I think your first step must be to figure out the quality of domains from where your competitors are getting a link, are they relevant websites? News websites? High authority? And other important factors…
Step two is to design you strategy in which you have to think that can you acquire link from the websites where your competitor’s link is present (if they are credible website this is a good strategy to start.)
You also have to design strategies that allow you to get links from different domains like guest posting, info-graphics, interviews and more…

Kevin - there are a lot of different factors that go into rankings. In general, it's better to have links from more root domains, rather than a large number of links from a few root domains. However, you can't disregard the quality of those root domains. If you only get very low quality root domains linking back to you, while your competitor has a couple of great, high quality links with the right anchor text, they could still hold you off for a while.
Sounds like you're on the right track though.

Will this Blog Tool hurt our SEO
Hi, We have come across this tool that we are considering using for some of our blog posts. We will still continue posting our own post blogs weekly, we will just use this if we come across anything interesting. Our concern is it will produce duplicate content from other sites. We are very new to blogging. https://home.passle.net/ Will this hurt our SEO? Will it improve it? Or will it make no difference? All thoughts welcomed please. Thanks Andrew

Domain extensions and link building
Hi, If you were trying to rank your website for a search term in Google UK, would it be more beneficial to build links from .co.uk websites then any other? I have read on Hubspot if your targeting UK rankings then link building from .co.uk domains will have a good impact on UK rankings? Thanks

Can I start SEO before finishing my website?
Hi, I'm new to SEO and websites. I'm slowly building a website at the moment. I was wondering if I could set up a blog at the domain name I will use for my final website and begin doing SEO. Eg. I set up a blog using a CMS like Squarespace and begin blogging at domain.com/blog (with links to the domain.com/blog from the domain.com home page) and inbound links point to the domain.com 'front page'. And then add the design of the 'front page' of the website using Squarespace at a later stage eg. domain.com. Is this a good idea? Will it work? I'm anxious to get started on SEO. Thanks!
